lyrics

She’ll smile and squeeze your hand.
You’ll ask if she’s okay.
She’ll brush off any worry,
ask about your day.

And everything’s so neat and clean,
almost like it’s made for a movie screen,
but can we please call scene?

Because you’re the prince who finally found the princess,
but I’m not the one in the white dress.
You slayed the dragon, and you weren’t scared at all.
You saved the girl and you took her to the ball.
And that’s good, and that’s great, but don’t you ever want anything more?
Is there any hope left for the princess next door?

You’ll twirl her around the dance floor.
She’ll smile with grace.
You’ll promise to be her protector,
wipe every tear from her face.

And everything’s so neat and clean,
almost like it’s made for a movie screen,
but can we please call scene?

Because you’re the prince who finally found the princess,
but I’m not the one in the white dress.
You slayed the dragon, and you weren’t scared at all.
You saved the girl and you took her to the ball.
And that’s good, and that’s great, but don’t you ever want anything more?
Is there any hope left for the princess next door?

And I’ll be the one who sees you with no crown on,
the one who knows you snort when you laugh when you’re drunk,
the one who keeps your demons at bay
and loves you anyway.

Even though you’re the prince who finally found the princess,
I’m not still the one in the white dress.
You slayed the dragon, and you weren’t scared at all.
You saved the girl and you took her to the ball.
And that’s good, and that’s great, I guess you didn’t want anything more.
I guess there’s never hope left for the princess next door.
